The Israeli drone that exploded over the Lebanese capital Beirut caused extensive damage to Hezbollah's media center, the Iranian proxy’s spokesman said on Sunday, adding that the second drone is in Hezbollah's possession.

“The party will respond harshly at five o’clock this afternoon in the speech of the party's secretary-general, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah,” Afifi told Lebanon’s National News Agency.

He added that the captured drone is being examined.

The National News Agency reported that three people inside Hezbollah's media center were lightly injured following the explosion of the Israeli drone.

The early morning incident came hours after Israel launched air strikes in neighboring Syria, but Hezbollah officials could not confirm if the drones deployed in Lebanon were Israeli.

“Hezbollah did not shoot down any drone,” Afif said, in remarks carried by Lebanon’s National News Agency.

“The first drone did not explode and it is now in the possession of Hezbollah which is analyzing it,” he added.
